Bella McDonald is the editor-in-chief of The Pub. Born and raised in Iowa, she grew up in the state’s largest city, Des Moines, albeit very small in comparison to Chicago. Bella grew up competing in gymnastics and dance, but she would never pass up a hockey game and avidly cheers for the St. Louis Cardinals and Iowa Hawkeyes. You’ll probably find her curled up with a novel, drinking any variety of chocolate-infused beverage, seeing new shows in the theatre, or binge-watching old ones at home.
